Questions
4. Which of the following BEST describe the purpose of Fitzgerald’s inclusion of the last two sentences in the excerpt on the previous page (detailing the drawbridge and the fact that the train always must stop there)?
a. These details highlight the carelessness of society during the Roaring 20s.
b. These details demonstrate Nick’s attitude toward this new society, because he does not want to meet Tom’s mistress Myrtle.
c. These details serve as foreshadowing for Nick’s first mysterious meeting with his neighbor Gatsby at the party he attends later on.
d. These details emphasize the contrast between the glamour of Long Island/NYC and the poverty of the Valley of Ashes because the train stop is a reminder of the lower class.
5. At the beginning of Chapter 3, Fitzgerald spends 2 pages describing Gatsby’s party preparations:
“Every Friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer in New York—every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves…At least once a fortnight a corps of caterers came down with several hundred feet of canvas and enough colored lights to make a Christmas tree of Gatsby’s enormous garden…”
Which of the following BEST describes Fitzgerald’s purpose in including all of this detail?
a. This description demonstrates just how reckless and lawless Gatsby is, because he spends all of his money to consume alcohol with strangers every weekend.
b. This description reveals Gatsby’s obsession with citrus fruits and caterers, which shows how he fixates on certain items to an extreme.
c. This description mirrors Gatsby’s meticulous preparations and highlights the extravagance that goes into each party, demonstrating that Gatsby is clearly putting on a show.
d. This description reveals shows how overwhelmed Nick is by his next door neighbor.
6. Fitzgerald uses imagery and deliberate word choice to create the reckless atmosphere of Gatsby’s party in Chapter 3. Which of the following pieces of textual evidence BEST contributes to this atmosphere?
a. I had taken two finger-bowls of champagne, and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant, elemental, and profound.”
b. “...girls were putting their heads on men’s shoulders in a puppyish, convivial way, girls were swooning backward playfully into men’s arms, even into groups, knowing that someone would arrest their falls…”
c. “Instead of rambling, this party had assumed a dignified homogeneity, and assumed to itself the function of representing the staid nobility of the countryside--East Egg condescending to West Egg, and carefully on guard against its spectroscopic gayety.”
d. “The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher.”
Answer:
4.(D) The train stopping at the drawbridge is almost like an unwanted interruption in the lives of the rich and famous who live in the lap of luxury and have enough money to travel in the fastest and most expensive transportation at the time.
The stop in the Valley of Ashes is described almost sarcastically as if the passengers in the train would have desired to take in the bleak and somber landscape of the dark and filthy valley laden with ash and industry.
5.(C) Because it explains how the lemons and oranges that are delivered to his back door are all used up within a fortnight because he is always throwing parties and events. It also explains that tons of caterers come down with canvas to decorate his enormous garden. Almost giving the reader a first eye glimpe of just how all out and extravagant Gatsby really is.
6.(A) Because " I had taken two finger-bowls of champagne, and the scene had changed before my eyes into something significant " meaning he only took a glimpse and before he knew it the whole atmosphere of the party had changed before him.

Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.
The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.
In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world’s great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery. The steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry, but as building heights increased it was gradually replaced by hydraulic, and ultimately by electrical, systems.
Which statement correctly describes the order of events in the development of elevators?
A. Because hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery, Otis placed an elevator in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.
B. After the first elevator was installed for passenger service, hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.
C. When hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery, the steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry.
D. As building heights increased, the steam elevator was replaced by hydraulic and electrical systems, and hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.
Answer:
B) After the first elevator was installed for passenger service, hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.
Explanation:
It is unknown when the first elevator was erected specifically for passenger service, although it was most likely around 1857. Following that, operators of hotels and retail establishments gradually became aware of the business benefits associated with elevating their consumers.

All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she wanted nothing more than to be the head of the household. After all, she had been at Chambord Manor since coming of age all those decades ago. For decades, she had worked up from scrubbing floors to cooking to answering the doors and then finally to overseeing Lady Kirsten’s wardrobe and calendar.
When Lady Kirsten told her that Miss Richards was retiring, and asked Miss Gilder if she would like to assume her duties, Miss Gilder cried. On that day, she said publicly, “This is the happiest of my life.” She was now the head of the household.
Miss Gilder in Charge
All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she had not been friendly with Miss Richards, but she had respected her professionally. In fact, Miss Gilder was nothing if not respectful to everyone she met.
Miss Gilder was especially respectful around the other servants. Even in a position of authority, she was hardly a tyrant. She would assign the servants their duties each day and would sternly talk to them if they did not perform them. But so long as they acted professionally and performed their tasks, Miss Gilder had no need to get harsh with them.
Nor did Miss Gilder get close to them. She did not care about their personal lives nor their pasts. As far as she was concerned, all were exactly like her, and she was only at Chambord Manor to work.
Miss Gilder at Night
All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she went home each night to a happy and respectful house. They knew that, though she was a spinster, she was not one of those typical unmarried old women, the type who were miserable and downtrodden. She would never, for instance, cry at night for her lost youth or opportunity. Nor would she ever feel crippling bouts of loneliness and despair when she thought each morning of rising and returning to her profession where she would have to put on a face of solemn respect and joy.
All who looked at Miss Gilder knew she was content. But that is only because they only saw her at Chambord Manor.

I'm really nervous about climbing it. You enjoy climbing mountains too, don't you, Suriana? Could you please give me some advice about it? Hope to hear from you soon.
Mei Li.
In about 80 words write an email to Mei Li giving some advice.
Answer:
Hi Mei! Nice hearing from you. One piece of advice I have is to definitely go for a jog or do some cardio before you climb. This is how you may prepare your body for the uphill trek by conditioning it and increasing your stamina. This is especially crucial if you don't regularly exercise since you don't want to shock your body with the exertion it will be subjected to. In the weeks preceding up to your climb, jog a few times. Also, read about the mountain you’re going to climb. This is vital since it is important to understand the trail's unique features, such as river or canal crossing and wading, water source availability, admission fees, and so on. Have an amazing trip!
